Thread: Marchand Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>Because Marchand is a good player. Teams who want to compete want good players more than teams who are rebuilding. Teams who are rebuilding value picks and prospects more.

Take this example. If the penguins were going to trade Sidney Crosby which team would value him more, Colorado or Arizona? Colorado, as they are trying to compete right now, and Crosby would help them do that. On the other hand, Arizona is trying to collect draft picks and prospects to build towards competing in the future.

Not a hard concept</div></div>

No, i get that. And thanks for letting me know its not a hard concept.

But this isn’t a player with a year left, and this isn’t a team that doesn’t have any of the pieces need to bounce back quickly. They’ve got an elite D, which is probably the hardest piece to find. They’ve got a super high end number 2 d man, and a real good second pair. They’ve got the young goalie. Maybe they have the elite sniper in pasta. This isn’t a, “take what you can get,” situation like it would be if the Bruins were planning a retool and marchand’s deal was up after next year.

Thread: Marchand Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>It’s something that happens pretty often on here. A person sees a trade that someone else posts in on of their ACGMs and wants to show what it looks like from the other teams POV.

I think you are also overeating the value of a 34 year old who is going to miss half the season due to a major surgery</div></div>

I know that, but most make note of it in the description or title.

I think a lot of people on this site confuse worth and value.

What is Marchand worth? Might be somewhere around this trade. Probably not, but maybe. What is his value? That’s whatever makes the bruins decide they are would like to trade him. Worth and value are rarely the same.

Also, Marchand is expected to return in late November. Not nearly half the season.
